  1. Well, if you guys are complaining about how generic Fourze is, nothing beats the showa riders as being the most generic. I mean, aside from Amazon, all of them are cyborgs. All of them wages war against a secret organization, which almost all of their origins involve escaping the said secret organization.

    Mecha's Blog

    Hao! Mecha. It's really been a long time. Oh, speaking of the old guyverboard, any of you saved my translation for the TV series? I was hoping we could incorporate that into the guyver wiki we have here. *Throws box of Starcraft II at Mecha* Anyway, I've an easy question. Got anything on the next expansion?
  3. Since Fourze is currently airing, it is simply fair to also provide a wiki for it in our PTW. I actually intended to discuss Fourze but I mistakenly click the wrong page (hence the page: Kamen Rider thread. Sorry Ryuki.). I'm placing this as a placeholder so do pardon the errors as I have never seen a single episode of this. I'm lining up all the prospected pages, so if any of you guys are willing to contribute, please feel free to add more info. That way, I won't have to rely on the Japanese wiki and use the information you guys provided instead.
  4. Another project of PTW, featuring the first among them all. I will say this with pride. Our Kamen Rider Wiki is superior in information versus the traditional wiki. Although I might have difficulty getting images for this series, but I'm very optimistic that I'll be able to find it. I've also checked that TW has the audio for this series, so we'll definitely have the bigger edge.
  5. This is the discussion topic for the wiki article: Kamen Rider Fourze

  7. I prefer Black Widow in the shiny spandex look. Spandex makes her curve much more prominent than the one she is wearing. Is it me or is her costume too thick? Maybe show a little more cleavage? Maybe I'm looking at it in the wrong perspective. Or maybe I was thinking too much of Sienna Miller in her Baroness costume.
  8. Yes, I'd also like to include images as well, but I'm somewhat poor at that department. Arts is not one of my best virtues. I'm concentrating more on content. Once it's filled, it would be much easier to include nice and shiny images. But I do have an idea of adding some small icons or thumbnails in the featured pages.
  9. Strange enough, when I searched using the string "Masked Rider" a lot of the results came up with "Kamen Rider", and vice versa. I think this is no longer a debate whether to use "Maked" of "Kamen", since fans will be looking for neither, but for let's say, Kuuga or Faiz. I think Masked Rider has already become synonymous with Kamen Rider, since Kamen Rider is now already an accepted vernacular. I don't think we need to rack our brains for this as each rider already has it's distinct identification. Notice when we discuss a series, we mention Blade, Hibiki, OOO or even Fourze, and we often omit the "Kamen/Masked Rider" part.
  10. Nevermind, I think I just answered my own question. Since Agito has "Masked Rider Agito" written in the title, it's obvious that we will be using "Masked Rider Agito". As for Kuuga, since no direct english translation was placed in the title, it's safe to presume that "Kamen Rider Kuuga" is the correct term. Besides, "Kamen Rider" was never once used or mentioned throughout the entire series.
  11. Sorry about this, and I know that we've discussed this countless times already, but how should we treat the "kamen" and "masked" term for the titles? I know that we will be using "Kamen" starting double since that is what is written in the title. But what about the older showa series, as well as the earlier heisei series? I've done the earlier series as "Masked" but mistakenly used "Kamen" for kuuga. Now I'm going to start with Agito and it just dawned on me that I'm using "Kamen" again despite the link is using "Masked". Am I making any sense? Strange that all the pages for the showa riders uses the word "Kamen". So I take it that we keep this arrangement for the Showa riders. I'm just asking this so that I won't have to correct the links later on. Like I always say, "when in doubt, ask".
  12. Okay, take a look now. This is just the bare look as I still haven't thought about what to put there. I also think we should just put them in the same page, but let the "link" header remain for easy access. I also changed "link" into "access". Not sure what other term can be used. Feel free to change or revert.
  13. I was actually thinking of revamping the page to give it more spice. Like adding more flashy tables and more features to give it a little more "oomph". I was inspired when I saw the index page of wikipedia.
  14. Ah no worries, I'll upload a cleaned version as soon as any of our friends posts a clear scanned image from the tank volume datafile. I think I'll also mention the two appearance, first as quadriga and second as an individual.

  16. I've updated the zoanoid pages to include the Unus. Since no specialization was mentioned about the Unus, I placed it in the others. Also, not sure about the chapter of it's first appearance, so a double check might be necessary. Also, I don't have a clear working image of the Unus so I left the image blank.
  17. Unfortunately, I don't. It's quite difficult since I don't know how her name is written in Chinese and I'm not even sure if that's her real name.
  18. Sun Xin Ya:
  19. Time to revive this thread. Can't let this thread be buried. Some nice pictures of Sun Xin Ya for everyone to enjoy:
  20. I think most new visitors visit the wiki page due to it being in the top google search. At least I know my efforts aren't wasted. But how many of those visit actually visit the pages I update is enitrely another matter. Based on statistics, the scanlation wiki pages is the most visited page among all the other pages. Not surprising at all.
  21. Nice beat from the group Miss A. Cute girls with very nice moves.
  22. But I think it would be predictable if the straw hats managed to save fishman island from the dropping of Noah. Sounds rather cliche actually. But is Decken's ability tied to his consciousness? Then again, there has got to be a reason why Decken mentioned him having touched hody else it would mean nothing. I'm still rather confused as to Brookes true abilities. When he was first introduced, he was supposed to be a regarded swordsman who is almost at par with Zorro. But it seems he has forsaken his swordsmanship in lieu of his musical abilities.
  23. I'm currently reading Girl who kicked the hornets nest, the third book in Stieg Larssens' Millenium Trilogy. Although I have to admit I'm stuck in a single chapter for lack of time reading. But the book is very good, with a lot of violence that is very close to real world. The first book, "Girl with a dragon tatoo" will be in theaters this December, where Danial Craig will play the lead role of Mikael Blomkvist. I've already seen the swedish movie of the first two books and it's quite good. Though not as detailed as the book, they're still good in their own right.
  24. I'm sure avid tea drinkiers are aware that Lipton came out with their Milk Tea. Well, I managed to have a taste of their Milk Tea variant from New Zealand, and surprisingly, it tastes quite different from the one locally made. I'm wondering if this is due to different ingredients used, or they changed the aroma on purpose to fit local tastes.
  25. Ah, an interesting chapter. Though not as action packed as expected, the straw hats still managed to stand on their own. I'm actually looking forward to the Hody X Luffy fight, as well as the Zorro X Octopus fight. But the way things are going, it seems that Luffy will need to create another miracle to escape the current predicament. So what are you predictions for the next issue? Noah crushes fishman island or Noah misses fishman island?
